Carol is for real, during the phone consultation she offered positive suggestions and ideas that would be helpful in my legal situation. Carol is a good listener and I would recommend her firm to my family, friends, and neighbors to contact Carol Lynn Schlitt as the attorney to handle their legal case.

I experienced a slip and fall injury and obtained Carol and her team for legal assistance. Carol's team definitely came through. Now I can see why there are so many great reviews of her service. I highly recommend this law firm.

5 STARS +++++++ I do not often take the time to comment or write reviews, however, must share that I was beyond thrilled to work with Carol Schlitt and Mark Cronin through the Schlitt Law Firm. Through a stressful situation where I needed guidance/direction in regard to working on a car accident case and with an insurance company, Carol Schlitt and her team provided me with compassionate and thoughtful service. They were extremely informative, positive and took great care and time to explain matters to me. Information was disseminated in a step by step manner that I could understand, they made me feel empowered while enabling a positive working relationship with the insurance company and repair personnel. Options were presented to me and they facilitated verbal and written communication in a collaborative and collegial manner. The Schlitt Law Firm acted in a timely fashion, reviewed all documents I submitted and produced an outcome in an expedited timeframe. I truly loved their initiative, patience, and tenacity. They made an extremely difficult situation less stressful for all parties and my outcome was more than I could have hoped for. I felt valued, respected and highly supported. Their professionalism and individualized approach is second to none. I am beyond impressed by their ability to link all parties together and to come to a positive resolution. They are absolutely incredible and I would recommend their team/service to anyone. I have complete faith and trust in them ~This is not easy to say in today's world, but anyone who seeks their guidance will not be disappointed! In fact, I am certain anyone would be impressed beyond words and would feel soo supported! They are a gift and truly difference makers. Thank you to Carol Schlitt & her team!!!! You are amazing!!!!!!

Attorney endorsements

I endorse this lawyer.Carol has represented three of our clients at trial and has obtained excellent results each time. Whether by settlement or verdict she put the defendants to the test each time and maximized the clients result. Her ability is respected by the judges she appears before and her adversaries.

I endorse this lawyer. Carol is one of the top personal injury and trial lawyers in the New York Metropolitan area. She is skilled, talented, dedicated and tenacious. Until she stopped accepting such cases to focus on other aspects of her practice, Carol was highly sought after by other attorneys to take their clients' cases to trial where she obtained exceptional results time and time again. I can't say enough good things about this attorney.
